As you know that ethics are the moral guidelines that determine the decision making.Corporate social responsibility is the obligations a firm accepts over and above its legal obligations eg.responsibilities to community and the enviroment. the growing importance of corporate social responsibilty has lead to businesses adopting an 'ethical code' to influence the way in which decisions are taken. Why should a manager behave ethically?1. to attract ethical investors. 2. to attract ethical consumers. 3. to attract employees. 4. to avoid unfavourable media attention.
Why should a firm not behave ethically?
1. there is no government agreement on what is ethical.
2. it can add up extra costs to a firm.
3. conflict of interests. eg. by not producing cigrettes a business has to make workers redundant.
4. it is not illegal if you dont follow an ethical code.
Ethics Vs profits
ethical behaviour may reduce a firms profits in the short run by;
1. by not accepting orders which are cheap but are from firms using child labour leads to increased costs.
2. production controls. eg pollution control
3. paying fair wages to employing in a country with no wage restrictions.
ethical behaviour may also increase profits in the long run by;
1.attracts investors
2.attracts consumers
3.attracts staff
thats all i've got........hope that its helpful ;D

ok...i've got a doubt here.....what's the differences between a business's corporate ain amd objective??
i ususally get confused here..........PLS HELP SOMEONE i have my business exam tomorrow
-
a business's corporate AIM is a long term vision that the business aims to or hopes to achieve in the long term...it sums up the various OBJECTIVES that the business sets, in a way. example: a corporate aim could be as vague as "being the best Internet Service Provider in town"....its plain to see that this is a very, very long term plan.
On the other hand, a Corporate OBJECTIVE is a target, a goal, set for the immediate future. A business can have many departments, and each department has its own objectives, and each individual in each department will then have his own objectives. And so all these objectives put together, work towards the common CORPORATE oBJECTIVE....a corporate objective is not vague. it cannot be vague. it is what ddetemines the course of action. it gives the how when where what....so it is descriptive. eg : "business's corporate objective is to increase sales by atleast 20% this year and to open up an outlet in city XYZ"
there u go, hope that helps :)

I'm Good. P1 is 5 short answers and 1 Essay.
Short answers are mainly your knowledge and examples.
For Essay, you can find alot of tips in SF. Examples are very good in essay. Ask people(professionals. egs teachers, students etc) if they think your writing language was good. Quoting can also give put you on the good side of the examiner.
I'm not an expert but all i can give you is tips that you should follow. :)
If you follow all these tips without delay you will definitely get what you expect,InshaAllah
Good day

a) promotion b)price c) place d) product
according to my teacher 'place' is the answer. Is this the correct answer ? Can someone explain me why?

Hello
sorry for the late reply. I dont usually come here often. :D
Ok....so they decided on how to sell their product.....in a way they had an option whether to choose opening a store or online retailing. so they chose online retailing.....therefore they decided on their place!
It is definitely not price. Promotion could have been if they said something like....they used sites to advertise their business.....its not really product because....they wheree deciding how to sell their product not what to sell!
Ok so I hope i make sense at all.Tell me if u get it.
:D
